“A top place to stay in Ansons Bay and an amazing host.”

This was a fantastic house to stay in in Ansons Bay. The house very easily and comfortably accommodated 6 adults. The kitchen, dining and living areas were very spacious and made us feel at home. Carol is an amazing host and very generously provided us with a bottle of wine and some home-baked bread on our arrival. She gave excellent information about suitable kayaking spots in the area.

The host was very accommodating, with information on the area and activities available.

“Great short break had by the family”

Had everything you need

“Absolutely Fabulous”

The BBQ and couches on the deck, relaxing in the beautiful tranquil surroundings and the swim in the bay. The host went above and beyond to accommodate the 60 th birthday.

“Really enjoyable, shame about the unseasonably cold weather, but the house itself was perfect.”

Host was great, met us at the property, clearly explained the area regarding walking trails etc. she baked muffins and bread.

great place and hospitality. host went above and beyond expectations

Location is gorgeous - the cottage was very cosy, well set out for visitors, welcoming and the fresh bread was beautiful X

“Banksia cottage really is in a remot paradise.”

Banksia cottage was very comfortable with views of Ansons Bay through the gum trees. We loved sitting on the couch on the covered verandah with just the birds for company. The house now has wifi which was appreciated.

“Anson's Bay cottage”

Well set out, clean, comfortable beds. A freshly baked loaf of bread, lollies and wine as a welcome gift. An outdoor covered deck with barbecue, plenty ok f seating, and view of the bay. Lots of information provided on what to do in the area.

“An enjoyable stay with good activities for the time we were there”

Excellent host and a very comfortable place to stay.

“A beautiful remote, natural environment to rest & enjoy”

The property was cozy and had everything you could possibly need, but the best was Carol. Her advice especially walking trails gave me an experience I will never forget. I would not have been able to find that walk without her guidance.

“Anson’s Bay is a beautiful, remote place and Carol’s house is lovely to stay in.”

It was clean, comfortable and warm.

Lovely warm, welcoming home after a day of exploring. Our host was keen to share information and facilities that would enhance our stay and very responsive to messages.

“As above”

My wife and I thought from the photos that the accommodation would be average however we were very pleasantly surprised. The photos underrated the accommodation. it has a big open plan accommodation with lounge room kitchen combined and the lounge room had very comfy seating and kitchen with its large table. The veranda/patio was large and relaxing to sit in and where we had breakfast and cups of tea The property is situated on a large block so parking with a large vehicle was no problem. We were booked for 2 nights (1 day). Carol meet us on arrival and gave us some goodies as there are no shops in close proximity except at st Helens Carol lives nearby which was good for us our one day was spent on the beach between Eddystone point and deep creek Absolutely lovely. Also Gladstone has one and only pub with a very good lunch /dinner. Barbara tony

“Lovely restful time. Everything we needed was there. Xx”

It was lovingly prepared. Large living spaces. Lovely gifts on arrival. Carol is lovely and couldn’t be more helpful. Very happy. Thankyou x

“Blissful peaceful perfection”

We love staying here, we are repeat visitors and it fits like an oasis of calm, relaxation and rejuvenation. Carol is so thoughtful, from home-baked snacks and wine on arrival to tailored books with local information, she greets you with a smile and leaves you in peace. The property itself is perfectly set up to switch off (no mobile reception), read a book, have a glass of wine, and tell the rest of the world to go away for a while!! We will look back on our three nights in front of the roaring fireplace (it was ‘just cold enough’ to have it on) with extremely fond memories.

“Recommended”

Large living room ideal for a group

“We had a lovely stay.”

Excellent location to explore Bay of Fires, friendly welcome, warm wood fire with lots of wood available, kitchen set up was functional and well stocked.

It had all the comforts of home

“Lovely and comfortable cottage in a quiet and peaceful small community. A very thoughtful and helpful host, thank you Ca”
